Chanukah is an 8 day festival that began at sunset last night. It celebrates a miracle. In ancient times a temple was destroyed and there was an immediate need to reconstruct it. There was enough oil in a lamp, at the site, to last one night. The miracle is that the oil lasted for 8 nights. On the 8th night the reconstruction was complete. Jewish kids get a present a day for 8 days, people eat potato pancakes and give children a little money, preferably chocolate money.
So happy miracles Boardies!
